Hi:

I used my Company Name shortformed for Twitter - I recently heard that actually can be changed. I use my name for FaceBook - again with a Fan/Bus Page with my Company Name as well as another Fan Page with my niche service, Social Media Marketing. I have never used MySpace. In fact, in that I have had to start accounts in YouTube, Digg, Delicious, Hubpages, etc. for my work, I have predominately used by personal name in all. The point here is that you are marketing your "brand" when you are social networking. You are promoting you! And you are your business!

I have been debating on how I should be displayed on these networks and all your posts have been helpful for me. Thank you.

What a great question and I'm thankful to hear all the answers. I just started signing up on more sites and didn't know which username would be best.

I have used my name adding VA to the end for twitter and Linked-In. I registered with Facebook but have never used it.
I also use VickyVA for my IGO page and Connected-Women page.
I don't have MySpace page.
